Manhattan immár fallal körülvett börtönsziget, ahonnan a szökés gyakorlatilag lehetetlen. Amikor az Egyesült Államok elnöki különgépe éppen a tiltott zóna közepén jár szerencsétlenül, nincs ember, aki bemenne a rabok kezére jutott elnökért, hogy biztonságba helyezze. Illetve egy mégis akad: a volt kommandós, jelenleg elítélt Snake Plissken, aki a szabadulásáért cserébe hajlandó kockára tenni az életét. És a határidő záros voltára a biztonsági rendszabályként a bőre alá beépített időzített bomba ketyegése emlékezteti... (AMC Hungary)

Remek hangulatú poszt-apokaliptikus Manhattan, nagyszerű szereplőgárda az arany nyolcvanas évekből. Kurt Russell ereje teljében. Nagyon élvezetes másfél óra még ma is, több mint húsz évvel később. ()
Carpenter’s precise B-movie hit demands that you not think about the wider context of the story and instead adapt to the requirements of low-brow entertainment, but the director will pay you back with interest. Kurt Russell is great and is accompanied by a host of top-acting talent and, despite the occasional silliness, this is pure filmmaking that, even within its premise, can be taken pretty seriously. The uncontrolled “trash” fun will come with the sequel. 75% ()
Carpenter’s famous cult movie didn’t work on me. The atmosphere is fine, Russell is tough as nails, but the very premise of Manhattan as a prison (that was set up god knows why) is very silly. I know looking for logic in films of this kind is nonsense, but in Escape from New York all those inconsistencies were way too evident. ()
A typical, distinctive Carpenter film, as only he can do it. The low budget and the associated minimalism are enough to play a solid B-movie etude about one tough guy who stood up to everyone and fucked them all up... Kurt Russell is a man par excellence, who needs little to satisfy similarly-minded fans - the pissed-off face, synth music, and an hour and a half-long sequence of tense scenes that can be described in several pages of genre textbooks today. 4 ½.

Typical John Carpenter’s madness set in an insanely looking New York as big prison, with tasteless and uninspiring action scenes, and characters that look like they've just had a stroke. The whole thing looks like one big fetish flick. We have a boxing ring, pseudo-futuristic machines, the World Trade Center, where a glider can land, all of that crowned by a tough and taciturn hero played by Kurt Russell, whom everyone knows and nobody calls anything other than Snake. It's crazy nonsense, but entertaining at times. The script is practically nonexistent and the plot is also nothing special. The only thing that stands out is precisely the cheapness and wackiness of the whole project, which is basically Carpenter's main weapon to impress the audience. ()
